Kingfisher blue Matches base text
Language: English
Kingfisher Blue! Bird of the sunlight, who Over the silent stream at will dost wander, On joyous wing we fly My love and I, To share thy freedom yonder. Bulbul, whose note O’er lily fields doth float, Rapture untold to list’ning lovers bringing, In well remember’d bow’rs, Of sweet wild flow’rs, We roam where thou art singing, Bulbul of love, Bird of the starlight.
